		<description><![CDATA[In my last post I talked about evidence of spirit and the divine coming out of synchronicity which implies an intellegent design, a patterner. Meanwhile, personally, I have not seen evidience, directly, of a corresponding malevenlent grand entity.  There may well be one, a Lucifer, a Devil, but our stupidity, in itself, can explain much of the evil [...]]]></description>

I can&#8217;t estimate closely the angle to the sun or this glittering snowbow (somewhere between 120 and 160 degrees?). Today at 2pm, the sun may have been 25 degrees [...]]]></description>
